In the same case as its electric rates, the Kentucky Public Service Commission addressed LG&E's natural gas rates, which the company had asked to raise 14 percent. Regulators approved an 11.09 percent increase instead, about 8.27 dollars a month for an average residential customer using 5.2 Mcf, raising a typical gas bill from 74.59 to 82.86 dollars, under the same February 16, 2026 order.
